Welding Technology
Associate in Applied Science Degree – WELD.AAS.C33
The Welding curriculum is designed to provide the student with fundamental theory in the technology of welding
processes, metallurgy, and fabrication design. He or she will develop practical skills in drafting, tungsten, and
inert gas welding, metal inert gas welding, stick electrode welding, oxyacetylene welding, oxyacetylene cutting
and oxyacetylene brazing. Students will be required to furnish personal protective equipment and tools. Welding
Technology graduates are generally prepared to enter welding programs at selected colleges and universities
with junior status.
